Big News!

Dear Friends and Family of Joy,Joy is presently in the hospital getting plasmapheresis treatments, so she asked me to post this exciting announcement, which I am delighted to do. I went to visit her in the hospital the other day and she was her usual gracious self; entertaining visitors, encouraging her room mate, and thanking her nurses. I know you will enjoy the book.Katie Sanborn, editorBig News!!!Dear Family and Friends,  I'm so pleased and excited to tell you that Seasons of Joy: Weekly Meditations on Life and Spirit is now published and available on both the Create Space e-store, and on Amazon.com.  Katie and I have already received quite a few special endorsements for the book - I'm including a couple of them here for you to see:These graceful reflections on the seasons of God's world are an invitation to ponder the seasons of our lives.  As such, they call us to new and refreshed awareness, to new boldness in prayer, and to gratitude for all God's gifts.   – Dr. Margaret Guenther, author, My Soul in Silence WaitsSeasons of Joy is one of those books you will want to carry with you wherever you go.  It lifts us from our daily drudgeries with tiny jewels of perspective and wisdom.  How fitting that this lovely book is written by a healer named "Joy!"  – Rev. Susan Sparks, author, Laugh Your Way to GraceJoy Carol has been providing comfort and hope to her readers for years. In this book, she reminds us to have hope, even in the darkest times. Through Joy’s own personal journeys, we learn to find inspiration in the simplest of truths: that life is a miraculous gift to be savored, if we'd slow down, get quiet, and hear the opportunities God has in store.– Christopher L. Johnson, author, Unsafe In Human HandsThese beautifully articulated reflections on each season's changes offer us powerful ways to truly notice both the treasures of the shifting seaons... and the invitations to each of us that also arrive with the passage of time.  There is much here to nourish and comfort anyone on the journey.– Nina H. Frost, co-author, Soul MappingI'm hoping the publication of the book is not too late for you to consider giving it as a Christmas present to your friends and family. I think it will make a lovely gift. Unfortunately my health situation got in the way of an earlier publication.Blessings and peace to each of you at this special Season of the year.Joy CarolAuthor, Speaker, Workshop/Retreat Leader, Spiritual DirectorWebsite: www.joycarol.comEmail: joycarol1@aol.comSpiritual Blogs: www.joycarol.com/blog/
